Connecting the FRITZ!Repeater with the FRITZ!Repeater (Mesh Master) via LAN

To increase the Wi-Fi range of your home network easily and efficiently, connect your FRITZ!Repeater via LAN to the FRITZ!Repeater (Mesh Master) that establishes the internet connection. The FRITZ!Repeater you connect is then automatically integrated into the Mesh and displayed with the Mesh symbol in the user interface of the Mesh Master. The new FRITZ!Repeater becomes a Mesh Repeater and from then on adopts all of the settings of the Mesh Master, such as Wi-Fi access information and guest access. In the Mesh, your wireless devices automatically connect to the wireless access point that offers the best Wi-Fi reception.

Changes in the Mesh can then be easily made centrally in the Mesh Master. It then automatically transmits the new settings to the Mesh Repeaters. If you still want to access the user interface of a Mesh Repeater, use the password from the Mesh Master.

In this guide we show you how to easily integrate your FRITZ!Repeater into your FRITZ! Mesh at the touch of a button (WPS - Push Button Configuration).

Connection scenario for LAN bridge mode

1 Loading the FRITZ!Repeater's factory settings

To perform the following steps, the FRITZ!Repeater must be set to factory settings:

  1. Push and hold down the Connect button for about 15 seconds.
  2. The Connect LED now indicates by alternately flashing and lighting up that the factory settings are being loaded and that the FRITZ!Repeater is being restarted. This process may take several minutes.
  3. The Connect LED flashes continuously for at least 1 minute as soon as the factory settings have finished loading.

2 Connecting the FRITZ!Repeater with the Mesh Master via LAN

  1. Use a network cable to connect the FRITZ!Repeater to a LAN port on the Mesh Master.

3 Adding a FRITZ!Repeater to the Mesh by button

You must push a button to add the device to the Mesh. It does not matter whether you push the button on the Mesh Master or the Mesh Repeater first. We recommend the following order:

  1. Briefly push the Connect button on the FRITZ!Repeater (for about 1 second) and release it again. When you release the button, the Connect LED starts to flash quickly.
  2. Within 2 minutes: Briefly push the Connect button on the Mesh Master for about 1 second and release it again. When you release the button, the Connect LED starts to flash quickly.
  3. The process is complete as soon as the Mesh Master marks the FRITZ!Repeater with the Mesh symbol in the Mesh Overview.

Now the FRITZ!Repeater is configured as a LAN bridge and is available as an additional wireless access point. The LED for connection quality indicates the quality of the Wi-Fi connection of the first device to connect to the FRITZ!Repeater's Wi-Fi network.
